I then took pages from an old phone book and covered the canvas. I did this to create some texture on my canvas.

After my canvas dried I added a layer of gesso.

Once that layer dried I added a layer of acrylic paint in off-white and lavender. Using my Club Scrap Girlfriends Unmounted Stamps, I stamped along the edge of my canvas. I then colored in the floral images with some markers.

I originally wanted to cut a stencil of my quote on my Cricut but I stumbled with making it work. In the end I decided to just cut out the quote and adhere it to the canvas. I added glitter to the Believe to make it stand out (it did not photograph well).

I am pleased with my first attempt at a canvas but definitely need to work on the stencil piece!
